Recently, the Federal government developed its own soft body armor program as an important resource to the State's law enforcement community. Because of a statutory requirement in the New York State program (subsection 4 of the Executive Law) , all police agencies must apply for any available Federal funding before they may be eligible for State reimbursement. (NYS Matching Grants)

Unlike the New York program, the Federal program will provide 50 percent reimbursement for newly hired officers and can be used to partially reimburse localities for the costs associated with replacing old or ill-fitting vests. Additionally, this program benefits both police and peace officers. While the Federal program limits the amount of reimbursement to half of the vest cost, it actually provides more funding as it covers a wider number of criminal justice agencies and a wider population of officers. The Federal program's application involves a fifteen-week period during which time municipalities may apply for funds. Such requests can only be made electronically on the program's website: http://vests.ojp.gov .

Once Federal funding is either acquired or denied, police agencies then have the option of applying for New York State funds. It is possible for police agencies to be reimbursed for 50 percent of the vests for new hires under the Federal program, and then to be reimbursed for the other 50 percent from the State program. New York State's Soft Body Armor Program is administered by the Division of Criminal Justice Service, Office of Finance. Direct questions about this program to funding@dcjs.state.ny.us.

NYS Soft Body Armor Program


New York State's Soft Body Armor Reimbursement Program
In on ongoing effort to help defer the costs of life-saving body armor for municipal police agencies, the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) administers, pursuant to Executive Law, article 35, section 837-d, the Bullet Proof Vest Reimbursement Program. This is a open-ended reimbursement program: police agencies may be fully reimbursed for the purchase of vests any time during the fiscal year. However, this program covers only vests for new hires of police officer status. It does not provide reimbursements for replacement vests or funds for newly hired peace officers.

N.Y. EXC. LAW § 837-d : NY Code - Section 837-D: Soft body ballistic armor vests for police officers

1. As used in this section, the following terms have the following meanings:

 (a) "Eligible police officer" means a police  officer  as  defined  in subdivision  thirty-four  of  section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law whose regular duties are such as the commissioner determines may  expose the  officer  to  serious  physical  injury which may result in death or   disability; (b) "Vest" means a soft body ballistic armor vest; (c) "Municipal corporation" means a county,  city,  town,  village  or police district; (d)   "Public   authority"  means  an  independent  autonomous  public corporation created by special act of the legislature; (e) "Public benefit corporation"  means  a  corporation  organized  to construct or operate a public improvement wholly within the state; (f)  "State  agency"  means  a  department, board, bureau, commission,   agency or other division of state government; (g) "Applicant" means a state agency,  municipal  corporation,  public authority, public benefit corporation, or the highest official thereof.

    2. An applicant which is authorized to and employs police officers may apply  to  the  commissioner for reimbursement of funds expended for the purchase of vests for eligible police officers.

    3. Reimbursement shall be made only for vests which  at  the  time  of purchase  meet  or  exceed  the  minimum standards and specifications in effect on that date as prescribed by rules and  regulations  promulgated pursuant  to  subdivisions  six  and six-a of this section, and shall be limited to the total amount appropriated for such purpose. Reimbursement for any vest shall not exceed an amount which in  the  judgment  of  the commissioner would be the cost of a vest conforming to minimum standards and  specifications  in  effect  at  the  time  the  vest was purchased.

  Selection of vests shall be a determination to be made by the  applicant in   accordance   with   rules   and   regulations  promulgated  by  the commissioner. Such rules and regulations shall provide that, subject  to the  provisions  of  subdivisions  six  and  six-a  of this section, the applicant may select from a range  of  vests  including  those  commonly known  or classified as type I, type II-A, type II or type III-A in such standard classification systems as the  national  institute  of  justice standards for ballistic resistance of police body armor.

    4.  The commissioner shall require any applicant seeking reimbursement for vests to apply  for  any  available  federal  funds.  Any  applicant failing  to  do  so  shall  not  be entitled to reimbursement under this section. The commissioner may waive such failure  for  good  cause.  The commissioner  shall maintain a public record of all such waivers and the reasons  therefore.   Reimbursement   may   be   withheld   pending   the determination of an application for federal funds.

    4-a.  An  applicant  for  reimbursement pursuant to this section shall report the name of each eligible police officer for  whom  reimbursement is  sought.  The  applicant  shall  report  whether such eligible police officer or officers have, at any time during the ten  years  immediately preceding  the  application  for  reimbursement,  been provided with any other  vest  for  which  reimbursement  pursuant  to  this  section  was provided,  the  date  of  any  such  prior  reimbursement  and any other information   that   the   commissioner   may   require   for   accurate record-keeping  and  accountability  and  for evaluation of performance, wear and officer use of vests.

    5. The amount of any reimbursement authorized to be made  pursuant to subdivision three of this section shall be reduced by the amount of any federal funds granted to the applicant for  the purpose of purchasing vests, and by the amount of any other funds received directly or indirectly for that purpose by the applicant.

    6. The commissioner shall promulgate regulations prescribing standards and specifications  for vests and procedures for vest selection by and reimbursement to applicants. In promulgating  such regulations, the commissioner shall give due consideration to:

    (a)  the maximum  total  weight of a vest which provides adequate protection against ballistic penetration and trauma, and which may be worn in comfort throughout an eight hour tour of duty;

    (b)  the ballistic specifications which the vest or any part thereof must be capable of defeating which shall include, but not be limited to, the ballistic specifications of any firearms considered to be standard issue to eligible police officers;

    (c)   the testing procedures appropriate to determining the effectiveness of such vests;

    (d) the labeling requirements for the vests and component parts thereof; and

    (e) the commercial availability of conforming vests.

    6-a.  In the evaluation of an application for reimbursement, the commissioner shall, at the request of the applicant, give consideration to the ballistic specifications of any firearm or firearms considered by the applicant to be standard issue to its police officers.

    7.  The contract specifications for bid for the sale of vests shall require that a certificate of  insurance evidencing that liability insurance providing a minimum coverage of at least five hundred thousand dollars per occurrence for injury or death suffered as a result of a defect in the manufacture shall be and remain in effect for the projected life of any vest purchased.

    8.  Neither the state nor the applicant or any employee thereof shall be liable to a police  officer or  officer's heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, for the death of or injury to the officer resulting from any defect or deficiency in a vest for which reimbursement is made pursuant to this section.

    9.  A police officer who suffers an injury or death as a result of the officer's failure to wear a vest for which reimbursement is made pursuant to this section, and officer's heirs, executors, administrators or assigns shall not suffer any loss or be denied any benefit or right to which they are otherwise entitled; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent the officer  from being subject to a disciplinary proceeding for failure to obey a lawful order of a superior officer requiring the officer to wear a vest.

    10. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prohibit an applicant from expending its own funds for vests in amounts exceeding the established state reimbursement limitations.

    11. The commissioner is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations to provide for the  orderly effectuation of the provisions of this section.

    12. The commissioner shall establish and maintain a record containing the name of each eligible police officer who receives a vest for which reimbursement has been provided pursuant to this section, the  applicant to whom reimbursement for such vest is provided, the date on which such reimbursement  was  provided and any other information that the commissioner  may require for accurate record-keeping and accountability and for evaluation of performance, wear and officer use of vests.

    13.  Nothing in this section shall be deemed to supersede the provisions of section three of chapter eight hundred seventy-six of the laws of nineteen hundred eighty applicable to members of the division of state police or to alter a valid labor-management agreement covering employees of the state serving in police officer positions in the security services negotiating unit  established pursuant to article fourteen of the civil service law which is in effect on the effective  date of this section.
